Pep Guardiola's side host Jurgen Klopp's Reds on Saturday looking to close the gap on Premier League leaders Arsenal. Three points would bring them within five of the Gunners, who are due to kick off less than an hour after the full-time whistle blows at the Etihad Stadium.

City's players appeared to sense this back in October, even if one of their new recruits was almost fooled by the quiet before them.
